Mathematician Dr John MacKenzie and molecular biologist Professor Robert Insall have teamed up to take a novel approach to
understanding cell migration.

«Ionizing radiation found to soften tumor
cell microenvironment: When irradiated, less stiff extracellular matrices reduced cancer growth and
migration, bolstering the case to further
understand fractionated radiation therapy.»
He adds, «Exciton diffusion and transport are important processes in solar -
cell devices, so
understanding what limits these may well help the design of better materials, or the development of better ways to process materials so that energy losses during exciton
migration are limited.»
Our insight will substantially enhance our
understanding of dynamic
cell shape regulation for instance in the context of
cell migration as in cancer metastasis or during morphogenesis.
Understanding how cells migrate in 3D environments in response to chemical cues is thus crucial to understanding directed migration in normal and di

The broad objective of our research is to
understand how epithelial
cells interact with their microenvironment during
migration, focusing on the mechanism of
cell migration and the role of actin cytoskeleton in this process.
